College students can surely relate: debt strikes hard. Unfortunately, it’s often the basis of declaring your major, but Ken Ilgunas didn’t let that stop him. At the end of his undergraduate study at The University of Buffalo he raked in $32,000 worth of student loans. Hit the jump to find out how he paid them all off.
After majoring in the least profitable fields –English and History– Ilgunas had no way of reeling in a job related. And, after being turned down for 20+ paid internships, it was back to pushing carts at The Home Depot. But, instead of giving up, he made a way.
Via Yahoo News:
[Ilgunas] moved to Alaska and spent two years paying back every dime. And when he enrolled at Duke University for graduate school later, he lived out of his van to be sure he wouldn’t have to take out loans again.
